Correct Answer :

Option D

20

Solution :

The correct answer is 20.


Step 1: Understand the geometric locus of complex number z
The given inequality is:

| z 5 | 3

This equation represents a closed disk in the complex plane centered at C = (5, 0) with a radius of r = 3.


Step 2: Find the complex number z with maximum positive argument
For z to have the maximum positive argument (or angle with the positive real axis), the line connecting the origin O(0,0) to z must be tangent to the circle |z - 5| = 3 in the upper half-plane.

Let the point of tangency be P representing z.

In the right-angled triangle OPC:
- The hypotenuse OC = 5 (distance from origin to center)
- The leg PC = 3 (radius of the circle)
- The leg OP = 5232=4

If θ is the argument of z, then from right triangle OPC:

cos θ = 4 5 , sin θ = 3 5

Since the magnitude of z is |z| = OP = 4, we write z in polar form:

z = 4 ( cos θ + i sin θ ) = 4 ( 4 5 + i 3 5 ) = 16 + 12 i 5

Multiplying both sides by 5 gives:

5 z = 16 + 12 i


Step 3: Evaluate the required expression
Now we calculate the numerator and denominator terms of the expression:

Numerator:
5 z 12 = ( 16 + 12 i ) 12 = 4 + 12 i

Denominator:
5 i z + 16 = i ( 5 z ) + 16 = i ( 16 + 12 i ) + 16 = 16 i 12 + 16 = 4 + 16 i

Now, calculate the magnitudes squared:

| 5 z 12 | 2 = 4 2 + 12 2 = 16 + 144 = 160

| 5 i z + 16 | 2 = 4 2 + 16 2 = 16 + 256 = 272

Substitute these values back into the expression:

34 | 5 z 12 5 i z + 16 | 2 = 34 × 160 272

Simplifying the fraction:

160 272 = 10 17

Thus:

34 × 10 17 = 2 × 10 = 20

Therefore, the final answer is 20.
